Chapter 403 You finally came to me (3)
Lu Qingyao got up early the next day after returning to the house. Xiaochun was already waiting in the yard. When she finished her breakfast, the carriage outside was ready.
Xiaochun drove his horse, Luochun followed him, got on the car, and Lu Qingyao asked, "Is the King of Jin resting today?"
"I have found out clearly. King Jin happened to be at home today."
"Well, I'm afraid Princess Jin will be unhappy again when I go."
"The lady came to the door in person to give him face to the Prince Jin's mansion, and she doesn't care what she does."
Lu Qingyao smiled and picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She went to the Jin Palace today not only to ask Zhu Jingfeng for help, but also to test his words and see if the palace knew that her father left the military camp. This incident made her more anxious than saving her mother from the palace. She couldn't understand what the motive for her father to do this? Why didn't the eldest brother stop him? Once someone was discovered, the entire Lu Mansion would be killed. My father wouldn't know, but it was still at this critical moment. She didn't know which route they were taking. If it weren't for her mother's affairs, she would have wanted to find them in person.
Liang Shao sent Yan Fei to inquire about the news, and everything would have to be known until Liang Shao came back from Bailu Villa. And Weng Zhong, even if there was news, he would not tell her. Since Weng Zhong wanted to kill her, it proved that Weng Zhong did not intend to cooperate with Lu Zhan, which shows that Liang Shao was confident that he could fight against King Jin and Zhao Yawei. King Jin had the imperial guards and the support of Xu Chang'an in the court. What is Liang Shao's sure he would win? Aren't he afraid that the 200,000 Lu family's army would turn against King Jin's camp?
There is another thing that Lu Qingyao cannot understand yet. Weng Zhong sent someone to kill her. If Liang Shao knew, it would be a different matter. If Liang Shao didn't know, what exactly could make him so confident that he would not have an impact on Liang Shao except playing the emotional card?
Lu Qingyao pondered all the way, and the carriage had arrived at the gate of the King of Jin's Mansion. Luo Chun helped Lu Qingyao out of the carriage. As soon as he looked up, Zhu Jingfeng stood on the steps waiting for her.
When Zhu Jingfeng saw Lu Qingyao, he was obviously happy and jogged down to greet her. Behind Zhu Jingfeng was the Princess Jin and Xu Shuang.
"I have met Prince Jin and Princess Jin." Lu Qingyao blessed them.
"A Yao get up quickly, there is no need to be too polite."
Zhu Jingfeng wanted to reach out to help Lu Qingyao, but Lu Qingyao avoided it. Xu Shuang came forward and went straight to Zhu Jingfeng to pull Lu Qingyao up with a kind smile on his face, "Sister Lu, don't be so polite, I know you're coming, I've been looking forward to it since last night."
The greeting was sent by Lu Qingyao to the Princess of Jin last night and handed it to the Princess of Jin. How could Xu Shuang not know her purpose? Lu Qingyao could even imagine how proud Xu Shuang was at this moment.
However, it was unexpected that she could act so intimately.
In the golden autumn, the Princess of Jin set up a banquet to entertain Lu Qingyao in the Tangyuan, which has the best view in the palace. The King of Jin accompanied him, and the maids and nannies around him served him, with a grand show.
When drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, Lu Qingyao and Xu Shuang seemed to have never celebrated a festival before. One was a polite lady from a family, and the other was a decent royal wife. Outsiders seemed to them, they looked like close friends of their long-term relationships, and only they knew how much they hated each other. Or Lu Qingyao knew how deeply he hated her under the generousness that Xu Shuang had worked hard to maintain.
"Sister Lu is a rare guest. My sister and the prince grew up together since childhood. They have a deep affection. They should walk around more." Xu Shuang took a sip of tea gracefully, and looked past Zhu Jingfeng who was sitting on one side. "Your Majesty said, right?"
Lu Qingyao smiled faintly, and then heard Zhu Jingfeng say lightly, "I love Qingyun and I are like brothers. Since I was a child, I have been playing with each other since I was a child, and A Yao is like my sister. Of course, I should walk more."
"The prince and the princess are politely polite. Man Liuli City knows that I don't like to go out. However, the princess invites her warmly, so I will often come to bother the princess in the future, as long as the princess doesn't dislike Qingyao."
"Hahaha." Xu Shuang smiled dryly. She often came, but she really dared to say, "Don't you like going out? Didn't your sister just come back from the heroes' meeting? I heard that she has been living outside for several days."
"The Lu family is a family of military generals and has been in the army for generations. My father taught me and my brothers since childhood that no matter women or men, the descendants of the Lu family are allowed to be useless people without any power. Although Qingyao is a woman, she is still not timid in the world that should be seen. Speaking of which, the princess is also a role model for us women in the boudoir. I heard that the princess went to Genting Palace to learn skills at a young age? This time Qingyao was fortunate to meet all the sisters of Genting Palace at the Heroes Conference. They were all women as good as men. Oh, there was also an older sister who seemed to have married the disciples of the Jueyang Sect during the Heroes Conference, and achieved a good story."
"You!" Xu Shuang was choked by Lu Qingyao's words. Such a shameful thing had already been suppressed due to the turmoil in the five major sects. Lu Qingyao now came out in front of everyone and said, was she slapped her in the face naked?
Xu Shuang suppressed the hatred in her heart and gritted her teeth and maintained a smile, "My sister knows a lot, but I don't know why her sister didn't go home with Master Lu Er? Is there anything important outside or someone worthy of my sister's ability to abandon Mrs. Lu's safety?"
After Xu Shuang said that, she looked at Zhu Jingfeng specifically. Sure enough, his face became much lighter.
Lu Qingyao chuckled, "The princess is so bad. I was just overly tired and sick on the way back. I happened to pass by the Lu family's villa. My second brother asked me to go to the villa to recuperate. As for why I didn't tell me the news that my mother entered the palace, it was just because the empress praised my mother. Being able to serve the disease for the empress was the supreme glory of my Lu family. My mother was only because she was weak and her old disease recurred as soon as she entered the palace. Fortunately, the empress did not blame her and I also hired the imperial physician to take good care of her. My second brother and I were grateful to the emperor and the empress. The emperor's kindness was so great, so how could we be worried? Princess, do you think this is the reason? But it is said that the empress is the princess's mother and aunt. If the princess comes to the palace to take care of the empress, others will never be as good as you."
Xu Shuang couldn't help but flick her eyebrows. Is Lu Qingyao mocking her for not being happy with the imperial concubine? Her mother-in-law was sick and didn't call her daughter-in-law to serve her, but instead summoned her family members to join the family. How unpleasant is her daughter-in-law?
No one dared to ridicule her openly and secretly. Looking at Lu Qingyao's increasingly energetic face, Xu Shuang wished she could use her sword to scratch her.
Zhu Jingfeng was fed up with Xu Shuang's stupidity. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he could not meet A Yao alone, how could he be willing to let Xu Shuang come forward?
"Princess, A Yao is a rare trip. Has the kitchen been arranged? Brother Qingyun is coming soon. You ordered the kitchen to steam some fish, he likes to eat it."
Lu Qingyao was blowing the tea leaves, and her mood was blown down. Steamed fish have always been her favorite.
Xu Shuang was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief under the table when she received Zhu Jingfeng's warning look. However, she did not dare to disobey Zhu Jingfeng's intentions. She laughed even worse than crying. "The prince reminded me that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, so I will go to the kitchen to see it so that people don't know the taste of Master Lu Er and Sister Lu."
Xu Shuang left step by step, and Lu Qingyao sneered in her heart. She had something to ask for, but she didn't allow others to slander her innocence at will, let alone the person she asked for was not Xu Shuang.
Seeing Xu Shuang leave, Lu Qingyao put down the cup in her hand and stood up. Seeing that there were many slaves around her, but some were still standing far away. She retreated, blessed her body, and looked at Zhu Jingfeng steadily and said, "What Qingyao asks, can the prince help?"
Zhu Jingfeng sat without moving. With a wave of his hand, everyone around him retreated, leaving Luo Chun behind Lu Qingyao, and Xiaochun was outside the courtyard. Zhu Jingfeng moved forward slightly, crossed his hands and put his fists on the table, his eyes were full of heat, "A Yao, you finally remembered me."
